No violation.

Besides, I don´t think they have a reciprocal agreement with Munich.

jkwakopo · 01-02-2006, 10:25 PM

wow... beautiful cars...love that white one... xi is also so cool!!

dencoop · 01-02-2006, 11:33 PM

First- nice cars !!!!

2nd - Jonathan - Can we set up a NYC meet mid to late April....since My car wont be here from Munich until that time frame. I know I know, why bother for one person....the positive: weather will be nicer.

Thanks.

RyBMW · 01-03-2006, 02:19 AM

Off topic here.

dencoop-How do you like your Accord coupe 6mt? I had a 03 one that I traded for a 6mt TL. The coupe felt very unstable when the roads are a little rough. The brakes are terrible and rotors warped right before I traded. The rattle from the headliner drove me crazy. It is a fast car. The clutch and the shifter are great.

I think late April is a great idea but we still might try one more in between. Shady´s the meet coordinator, I only scouted out the location and showedup!

Both of your cars look great! I can't wait to install my Blackline tailights....

I'm getting the feeling that our winter is not going to be that bad, so we should have plenty of opportunities for a meet way before April.

And I´m keeping my thumbs pressed for good luck re the lack of winter weather!

RyBMW - I loved the accord...power = A+,nice clutch and shift....loved my White color...regarding the car feeling unstable...Yes I felt the same way until I upgraded my Rims and Tires with 245's all around and added the TL rear stabilizer bar...It made a world of a difference the car became much more stable....I also added 2 TV's Euro Side markers a Xenon kit, spoiler fogs Wood....and many other upgrades....but let me say this.....the same reason why I orig bought the accord I got rid of it.....isn't that a paradox.....I got the accord because of front wheel drive for the snow and got rid of it because there is only so much a front wheel drive can do.....and now I understand why the BMW is "The Ultimate Handling/driving machine".....even though the 325i does not feel as powerful as the Accord or the TL...especially of the line.....the car just comes together like nothing else on the road when all driving dynamics of a cars characteristics are entered into the equation.

Thanks.
